4. Background of Munyinya washing station

From our little childhood we assisted parents in the growing coffee. ‘‘we used to see them earning much money from coffee’’ said one of cofounders. When we got mature we decided to grow it. ‘’My first coffee farm countered 400 trees. I invested much therein and today I have 12 000 trees of coffee in my six farms.’’ He added. Though coffee was intensively grown, my parents, my neighbours and I encountered troubled to process cherries. In fact, in the entire commune there was one coffee washing station owned by the Government and it was situated at almost 17km of walk. In the time of rain, during harvest period, all farmers were struggling to reach that wet mill. Then other and I decided to start building our own wet mil in order to end many issues such as long distance, great expenses of transportation, thefts in the weighing and delays of payments.
